Update The Kent

Forgive me father, I am a worm. It's been more than several weeks since my last entry. But now I feel it has come time for the blogger pheonix to rise from the holiday ashes and return to regularity. And such good holidays they were - marred only by the jet lag caused by the return flight home from Canada, the sweaty hot four-shower-a-day-weather in Tokyo right now, and the ever-depressing departure of our beloved newlyweds back to the land of Oz. Not to worry, there have been some redeeming events, such as the return home of my new blue guitar that was in "the shop" for some modifications during my absence abroad (see pic below). Also, there's the planning of my next overseas trip to Italy with my father the Beacon, which will take place in late September. AND there is of course the wonderous entertainment provided by the presence of my recently won Playstation Portable (for those ignorant among you, I was one of several bingo winners at Sarah and Chris's Japanese wedding party and left the event with a brand new PSP in hand). So all in all, life seems to have balanced itself out a bit.
